This branch was only for development. If RedHead ships broken compilers with it's release, RedHead users have to live with this -- haven't they ;-) ? > I thought it might be a problem with the compiler, so I downloaded and > installed gcc-3.0.3 and reconfigured and compiled prcs > (files expanded fresh from tar.gz). Me too took gcc-3.0.3 last week, to set it up as a secondary compiler but I don't have much luck with it. To say the thruth - I havent much time just now for such an experiment. > Finally, I installed gcc version 2.95.3 (2.95.3 20010315 (release)) and > this worked fine. I've already built whole systems with this version. If you have glibc-2.2.x you'll need the gcc-2.95.3-2.patch. > I don't know if there are bugs in the compiler(s) or bugs in prcs-1.3.1, > but this might be a regression test to pass for the newer compilers.
